He was a great clutch performer no doubt. Real important during a historical Cup run and a World Cup.

Sorry, I'm on my phone and can't easily check the voting records...how did Mike do generally amongst the voters (curious to see how he placed compared to guys like Vernon, Osgood, and Kolzig)? If the list was extended to 50, would he get in?

Connell was perhaps the goalie in most need of an advocate. I'm still not clear on what specifically made him a great goalie, other than putting up great numbers.

I went in thinking I would be his advocate. Did a lot of game to game research on him...came away thinking he didn't belong. Seems very likely that he was the Osgood of his era. I'm not sold that John Ross Roach wasn't better or at least on par. Adding Connell was largely a stat grab, unfortunately.
